“Reclaiming the Ordinary” 

Juror: Peggi Kroll-Roberts

We invite artists to submit work for Reclaiming the Ordinary, a juried exhibition that celebrates the overlooked, the familiar, and the everyday. In a culture often captivated by spectacle and novelty, this exhibition seeks to highlight the significance of ordinary moments, objects, routines, and spaces that quietly shape our lives.

From morning rituals and domestic scenes to neighborhood landscapes and cherished possessions, Reclaiming the Ordinary encourages artists to explore how the commonplace can become extraordinary through attention, memory, creativity, and reflection.
